Has anyone had any experience with a 'Smart visa'? Not heard of that one before. Is it still one that appeals to expats?

Update:

I drove myself to the satun border and the officer told me if I stay two days in Malaysia it’s ok but if I want to walk out and walk back in I must pay the border fee of 2k, so I did.

No problems, no questions.

Agent wanted me to pay 3k if I drive there myself and 4.8k if they take me.

No agent needed.

Hey, has anyone done a land crossing border bounce without using an agent? Preferably at satun border.

I have a 15 year PE visa renewal coming up, I may take an internal job here in Thailand. How does that affect the PE Visa?

Does it cancel it out entirely or when my work permit ends will I be able to return to PE visa mode?

Looking for some advice. I am from the UK, and presently in the UK. I am a mother of a 19 year old daughter, who has thai citizenship. I contacted the London Embassy and they said that I can apply for a family 0 visa, to spend time with my daughter, while she looks at universities in Thailand. However, my daughter turns 20 in March, and so my question is, does this mean that my visa at the end of the 90 days, will not get extended, as my daughter will then be 20? (as I am to understand, 19 years is the limit on visa for a parent) I want to stay 1 year in Thailand with her, but concerned if they will continue to extend the 0 visa due to my daughter's age.

What is the easiest route for soft power DTV approval?

My preference is the cookery classes, I understand you have to book a 6 month term to be approved? Does anyone have any reliable and affordable cookery places? Preferably in Bangkok or Chinag Mai?

And will a 6 month class suffice for the entire 5 year Visa?

Thanks!
